Dalman takes SOD feature win

QUINCY — With several area race tracks canceling their racing programs July 6, Butler Motor Speedway had a large car count with over 100 cars.

The racing action was headlined by the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP. Twenty SOD regulars were on hand for the show and started the feature.

Gregg Dalman of Bellvue started on the pole alongside Dustin Daggett. At the drop of the green Dalman took the lead and never looked back although he was challenged for the lead several times. On every restart Dalman was challenged with the biggest challenge coming from Daggett.

The challenge from Daggett came to an end after he spun as he jumped the cushion in turn two. Daggett started at the back of the field and ended up finishing seventh.

At the checkered flag Dalman was followed by Jared Horstman, Ryan Ruhl, Max Stambaugh and Brett Mann.

Saturday’s racing action kicked off with the UMP Modified, Sportsman and Street Stock make-up features from June 29.

The Sportsman feature saw Butler regulars Jake Rendel and Scott Gaff battle for the race lead. The two swapped positions as Gaff dove under Rendel in turn two to take the win. The two were followed by Steve Langdon and Fred VanEvey.

Gaff is currently leading the Sportsman division 27 points ahead of Rendel.

The Street Stock make-up feature saw 18 cars take the green flag led by Josh Garrett and Don Hopkins. At the checkered flag 11 cars were running with Dustin Hyliard taking the win.

He was followed by Don Hopkins, Josh Garrett and Shawn McFeters.

The modified feature was won by Corey Bevard.

The remaining feature wins from Saturday night weren’t available.
